Of course, those are the rules
at present. They could change at any time. (Chase already seems to be denying churners way less aggressive than you for any Chase UR cards, since May. We
don't know
if/when they
might extend that to any partner cards like UA or BA.)
I haven't churned many Chase cards, though I did receive many new ones within the past 12-18 months. I think it may have been 2 years or more since I had a BA or UA card, and I was applying for a different BA card than I had previously owned. I cancelled some Chase cards over the last year prior to the renewal date (including Ink Bold and Ink Plus), but I paid the annual fee to renew my Sapphire card this month.
Anyway, it sounds like it might be in my interest (as well as everybody's) to wait awhile and settle for gathering points the old-fashioned way (including from other banks). I'm cool with that.
